We are using reference package data imported as a STEP from Creo which comes into Alias maintaining the assembly structure as group nodes. The issue we are facing is we are unable to hide / unhide individual group nodes in the reference manage as you can do when referencing files with layers, or working with the group nodes in an Alias stage. The assembly files are very complex, and being able to hide / unhide group nodes from the assembly in the reference manager would save us a lot of time. I hope this is something you can include on future releases. Thanks, Phil

Subject: User Feedback on Autodesk Alias User Interface Dear Autodesk Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some user feedback regarding the user interface and functionality of Autodesk Alias, particularly in comparison to Autodesk Maya. As a user who interacts with these tools regularly, I've noticed several aspects that I believe could significantly enhance the user experience in Alias. Selection and Transformation Tools: Alias: Step 1. Initiating Selection Mode: Press Ctrl + Shift + Middle Mouse Button. Step 2. Navigating Through Menu: A menu will appear, requiring you to select the move button. Maya: Simple Selection: Press the "W" key. Final Note: Alias has too many steps and causes eye/brain strain in searching for the option. These tools are used thousands of time. Keeping a default like Maya will make Alias more user friendly and speedup the process. __________________________________________________________________________________ Unselecting Objects: Alias: Step 1. Unselecting Objects: Press Ctrl + Shift + Left Mouse Button. Step 2. Navigating Through Menu: A menu will appear, requiring you to select the “Pick Nothing”. Maya: Effortless Unselect: A single click in an empty space automatically unselects the currently chosen object. Final Note: Alias has too many steps and causes eye/brain strain in searching for the option. These tools are used thousands of time. Keeping a default like Maya will make Alias more user friendly and speedup the process. __________________________________________________________________________________ Camera Focus: Alias: Press Alt + L to focus the parts on screen. (Please note Alt and L are far apart on keyboard) Maya Press the "F" key to focus on a specific part. Final Note: In Alias, Alt and L are too far apart making it difficult. __________________________________________________________________________________ Pivot Adjustment: Alias: Press Ctrl + Shift + Middle Mouse Button for menu to appear, Select Move Pivot Press Ctrl + Alt + middle mouse button Hover on the curve/vertex Maya: Effortless Pivot Adjustment: Press "D" for pivot movement or press "V" to snap to a vertex, "C" to snap to a curve. __________________________________________________________________________________ Exiting Tools: Alias: Exiting Transformation Tools: No specific button; each click continues moving/rotating/scaling the part or continues to create sphere/cube etc. Maya: Tool Exit: Press the "Q" key to exit any tool. __________________________________________________________________________________ Manipulator and Axis Controls: Alias: Axis Controls: Remember to use the Left button for X-axis, Right button for Y-axis, and Middle button for Z-axis. Maya: Intuitive Manipulator: Click on any axis for translation. Additional Controls in Maya: Advanced Translation Lock: Press the middle mouse button and shift while moving the mouse to lock translation to a specific axis. Repeat for different axes. In each case, the steps in Alias appear more intricate, involving multiple actions compared to the more streamlined processes in Maya. __________________________________________________________________________________ Selection-Multiselection Alias: Always on multi-selection mode, if You need to deselect, each time you need to re-click the same part and click on the other part. No way to switch off multi-selection. Maya: Multi-selection Designer can simply press shift and do multiselect, or will be in default mode of single selection. Thanks Muhammad Khan

Hi, I was wondering if u can add a feature into the slide cv tool. Grid/CV/Curve snapping. this feature is available in the 'Extend tool'. I would find this feature really helpful in my subdivision workflow

I am a contractor for automotive OEM, and when we get an Alias file the Hardware shader is sometimes the only way to separate the objects/part breakout in the file or they are grouped with no shader. They are usually all on one layer. The problem I have is after the Alias file is released and auto translated to our engineering Cad package everything is same color, No shaders, all one layer and all grouping is lost with thousands of surfaces. My workaround is to open the original Alias released file, and manually pick by shader and then assign to layer, The same for grouped objects. Pick by group and then assign to new layer. Each shader/group has its own layer. After all shaders/groups have been assigned to separate layers, I save a copy of original Alias file with separate layers locally on my pc, then from that Layered Alias file I export active as to my Engineering Cad format. When I open the exported Cad file, I can work with the separate layers, assign the correct color or material or part break out, I work my way through the layers till all are redefined in the Engineering cad system. Then after all objects have had a color or material or part breakout has been done I save the new Engineering Cad file with the everything back on layer 1 to pass file checker. It is very time consuming and with large Alias files (large areas of vehicle or speaker grills can have 15000 individual surfaces ), Some files the only way to separate the objects in the Engineering Cad system it create new SEW features that can pick surfaces with tangent edges just to separate the surface for part break up. Our auto translator only has a layer option, All the work done in Alias to group or assign shaders is removed and lost. I would like to create my own macro but not sure how to do that yet. Thanks Steve P.

If this option where to be supported, there would not be the same need for Autodesk to support every new version of .prt file within Alias. Technical Input from NX could also be communicated in a more secure way, when all PMI is supported and all information gets imported to Alias.

Hello, Building drafts I often encounter issues while selecting multiple curves (or cos). Alias decides, for some reasons (linked to surfaces UV orientation I believe) to switch the orientation of one of the surfaces resulting in me either killing the history or having to generate my drafts in more than 1 operation. This becomes an issue when I want to change some parameters of the function having to guery edit each element instead of a single group... I was thinking, in Catia, we have to opportunity to store a variable in the scene and call it in the functions. For instance, if i want my draft angle to be set to 3deg, I generate a common variable called "draft angle" with the value of 3. Once in the draft function, instead of typing "3" for the draft angle value, I call my function "draft angle". Along the way if I need to modify this value, instead of query editing the draft function(s) I just modify my variable. Do you think something similar can be implemented to Alias ? I believe it will add a bit more interest to the history building.

Would be great if .3MF output could be added as an export option to support 3D printing in color. There are several popular 3D printers that can now make use of this format.

Now that boot camp isn't supported anymore by newer Apple Silicon Macs, and given that virtual machines (example:Parallels) slow down the performance by quite a bit, I think now is a good time to bring back macOS support.

Background: I extensively work in between Maya and Alias, I not only work on provided sketches but also ideate and iterate in either softwares . There seems to be a lack of feedback in Alias while quick model making mostly with previewing and working in between multiple parts. Scenario: 1:Possibly working on multiple parts(say exterior and interior in the same project)that are layered differently. And i want to preview how my interior head rest design language corresponds to the exterior without having to see the line weight of exterior (like in toggle model option ) but still be able to work on interior. 2: have a model(maybe imported fbx) without its surface patch layout in my grid in the same window but not overlapping or sharing the same center point (somewhere in vicinity) and the user being able to correspondingly work on surfacing from said reference. Suggestion: Maybe have a <PREVIEW> mode in <Set State>option of layers just like in Maya. such that user can work on a different layer without having to see the patch layout of a toggled layer. Possibly lock the layer too such that the user doesnot create new surfaces or have ghost commands working on that particular layer. I think this will be very helpfull for people who Iterate on Alias and also for ones who are working on imported meshes. Idea in picture: Attached ps image Hope you like this suggestion and possibly consider this putting into effect. Regards, Tushar

It would be great to just be able to set one hotkey (in this case Alt+O), to toggle handle/controls visibility. If anyone knows of a plugin/addon that can do this, i would be very thankful. Have a good day

Here's something that I'm shocked that not one single program or game that I have used for my 37 years of existence and use of computers and programs since the i385 have implemented. Print out keyboard shortcuts. Don't have to be a fancy diagram with all the key colored in and everything. Just a print listing of everything with a shortcut key would be helpful on it's out broken down into categories and color coding would hep. This would help both for those who are learning Alias and any other Autodesk software and also if you either haven't used it for awhile, forgot a shortcut, or have moved your shortcuts to help improver you workflow but forgot what they are. You can just print them and maybe even have a way that when you open shortkey modification you can have it show all shortcuts that are asigned, instead of having to click every single one of them to find the short key you need to remind yourself about.

Can we please have Alias in the cloud under a much cheaper month to month rate as do inventors of Onshape and other products. This would enable would be inventors and car industry graduates develop their skills more easily to enter the industry. At the moment $6,800 inclusive of GST is too much for a single licence in Australia. Thanks

After several 30-user experience sessions, one thing became glaringly clear: Alias needs a commands based operation option. Imagine being able to work with a completely undecorated screen, no old fashioned icons, menus, etc., only using marking menus plus being able to simply type in commands. Great for novice users who are thrilled by the cognitive ease of using Rhino.

Hi I would like to have a global transperancy command which is like Transperancy ON / OFF. This would help to shade the model and see the form, without having to select the surfaces and reduce the Tranperancy and then see the form. Thank You

In another A class surfacing software I have been able to control the order of a 'curve on surface'. Practically speaking making the curve as simple as possible but achieving an acceptable shape. The resultant trim form this curve being much easier to match to for subsequent surfaces. Normally I would start from an isoparam curve on surface, which on a bezier surface would give a curve of a similar order without knots, but software would allow full control of degree and spans of this 2D curve. Then Using an xform tool to give simple u/v (on surface) movement of cv's to achieve required shape. This is something I cannot replicate in alias without extra work of projecting and manipulating 3D Curves and the resultant higher order of trim this creates. Edit points do not seem to be an effective way of modifying a curve on surface. Sure its possible in the maths of the curve on surface.

Hi. This is for all Autodesk products. It's sad that buying Autodesk products in developing countries still have methods from the 50s or 60s which take more than 3 months to fully complete (signature, etc, receipt) when a simple Mac App Store or App Store takes only about 5 minutes. Also with manual transactions it's easy to make mistakes on what's included and which product is being bought. If we look at Steam or Apple's App Store or Mac App Store, it's all there, what you'll get, how much and everything is done in minutes. I recommend Autodesk partly subsidizing these new higher standards for resellers (especially in developing countries in S.E. Asia), make things more professional like Apple's hotlines which are best I've experienced (not perfect), even better than Citibank. Sadly with Autodesk it's come what may, it's not even recorded, Autodesk doesn't know what the resellers are saying to the customers and how they are saying it (there could be disrespect, unprofessional, etc.) which could put a huge stain in Autodesk and customer relationships. If say a resellers sells something on their app store (the app store needs to be co-designed by Autodesk for consistency coz' it can't be outsourced to just any cheapest site maker- usually the credit card would have bugs if they go with developing country sitemakers. It has to be Autodesk quality/standards). Honestly, I may have to discontinue my 1 year subscription when it expires as there are beginning to be other options that also work on macOS Sierra for 3D and game engines that are formidable as well and have app stores as well which would be easy for renewal- you just click renew and you don't need to be bothered by calls and visits to sign things and all that. It's not been a great experience with Autodesk (including resellers). Autodesk has to make it's standards significantly higher for resellers and the way things are sold, during and post sales consistently for all nations developing and developed. It needs to be forward looking and more professional. Stay hungry as Steve Jobs mentioned:-) (nothing personal of course, it's all for making Autodesk become the best version of itself). On standards and consistency, just look at how Apple does it, they have a standard on their authorized Apple resellers (from third party physical stores that do not have the Apple Store label) from the look of the physical stores, to the products to be sold, they don't just let them do what they think is good and do it their way. Apple makes sure it's passes Apple quality. This has disadvantages but the advantages outweigh them. God bless, Rev. 21:4
